LX850 with Starlock and Tripod

The LX850 with StarLock is a portable astro-imaging system that can be setup, aligned and imaging in less than thirty minutes. This German equatorial mount is constructed of machined stainless steel and aircraft grade aluminum with a 90 pound payload capacity and pointing accuracy as good as one arcminute. The revolutionary StarLock technology makes target acquisition on your imaging sensor and accurate guiding during exposures completely automatic, using an 80mm f/5 optic and two camera sensor system to achieve a guiding accuracy of up to 1 arcsecond in good seeing and guiding capability on stars as faint as 11th magnitude. The LX850 features DC-servo motors on each axis with a maximum slew speed of 3 degrees per second, allowing slewing 180 degrees to the opposite side of the sky in one minute flat.
